The US Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance issued a no-action letter on Wednesday to social media company IMVU which plans to sell an in-house Etheruem-based token called VCOIN, according to a recent announcement. 

The note added that the Division of Corporation Finance will not recommend enforcement action to the commission in reliance on the company's opinion that VCOIN is not a security.

IMVU representatives from Perkins Coie wrote in a letter to the SEC that utilizing blockchain to create an Ethereum-based token will allow the platform to grow and create a digital asset which can hold value both on and off the IMVU platform.
